Its candidate Aneurin Minton picked up 60% of the votes cast to secure the win and maintain his party's total control of the ward.
“I'm absolutely thrilled and deeply humbled by the result," said Cllr Minton. “To be elected as a councillor for Penyrheol ward is an immense honour and a responsibility | do not take lightly.”
Cllr Charlotte Bishop, who leads the Plaid group in the council chamber, said she was “absolutely over the moon” with the result.
“This victory is a clear show of support for a man who genuinely deserves it - Aneurin is loyal, hardworking and has consistently shown how deeply he cares about our community,” she said.
